Nigeria's Largest Built-up Urban Areas In 2021 - Demographia by SouthEastFacts: 8:54am On Jun 14, 2021 |
Demographia recently released the largest built-up urban area in the world for 2021. Here's how Nigeria's top 15 cities compare with the rest of the world and their estimated population. Lagos Position in Nigeria: 1 Position in the World: 20 Estimated Population: 15.5 million Onitsha Position in Nigeria: 2 Position in the World: 64 Estimated Population: 6.9 million Kano Position in Nigeria: 3 Position in the World: 105 Estimated Population: 4.6 million Note: we could clearly see that both Lagos and Onitsha are more populated than Kano according to international estimates. Ibadan Position in Nigeria: 4 Position in the World: 141 Estimated Population: 3.7 million Abuja Position in Nigeria: 5 Position in the World: 152 Estimated Population: 3.5 million Benin City Position in Nigeria: 6 Position in the World: 287 Estimated Population: 1.9 million Port Harcourt Position in Nigeria: 7 Position in the World: 324 Estimated Population: 1.7 million Kaduna Position in Nigeria: 8 Position in the World: 331 Estimated Population: 1.6 million Benin City and Port Harcourt are more populated than Kaduna City. It seems the North inflates its population figures. Enugu Position in Nigeria: 9 Position in the World: 423 Estimated Population: 1.3 million Ilorin Position in Nigeria: 10 Position in the World: 434 Estimated Population: 1.2 million Aba Position in Nigeria: 11 Position in the World: 450 Estimated Population: 1.2 million At position 450, Aba is one of the most built-up urban cities in the world. The city is more built-up than the capital of Czech Republic Prague (464), Seville in Spain (487) and the capital of Serbia, Belgrade (491). Warri Position in Nigeria: 12 Position in the World: 500 Estimated Population: 1.1 million Nsukka Position in Nigeria: 13 Position in the World: 536 Estimated Population: 995k Nsukka is a village in Enugu and home to the Univeristy of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN). Maidugari Position in Nigeria: 14 Position in the World: 594 Estimated Population: 879k Despite being war-torn, Maiduguri is one of the most built-up urban in Nigeria. Impressive!!! Jos Position in Nigeria: 15 Position in the World: 602 Estimated Population: 867 Next time you want to insult your country, just know that Lagos ad Onitsha are more built-up than these heavy-weight global cities; 1. Dubai 2. Madrid 3. Singapore 4. Accra 5. Milan 6. Barcelona 7. Cape Town 8. Kuwait City (capital of Kuwait) 9. Detroit 10. Athens 11. Rome 12.

I wonder how we all believe that ilorin is more populated than Aba Like I have been to both cities Remove unilorin from ilorin I see nothing there, Maybe they were only talking about ABA (not including the metropolitan area, like Ariaria, osisioma, obingwa and ugwunagbor which are actually more populated than Aba city itself) Cos by all standard ABA as a City is has a population far above 1.6 million If you have been to the City, you will actually know that 102 Likes 3 Shares |

It's statistics like these that make me give up on Nigeria! Imagine taking from Peter and handing over to Paul....even when Paul despises Peter! Look at Onitsha, that's the second most populated and cosmopolitan area in Nigeria...the city get's next to nothing by way of federal infrastructure, recognition and assistance! Almost all it's developmental and governance challenges are left to the Anambra state gov't to manage! This is as the evil gov't in Abuja is stealing their hydrocarbons and refusing to recognise them as a oil producing state! Then there's kano, that has benefited from the ridiculous number of LGAs the northern miliatry oligarchs handed over to them! They also benefit financially from the ojoro census whereby they receive a lot more than Anambra from the federation account! All these are the financial benefits you know and hear of.....over the past decades, the cunning muslim northern rulers of Nigeria have devised many other stealthy ways to greedily corner even more of Nigerias' resources to their region! Lagos, as we all know, benefited from a lot of federal gov't infrastructure! The present Nigerian political-economy in play has also benefitted them by way of the pre-eminent commercial and industrial status the city holds in 'one Nigeria'! This city, owned and invested in by ALL Nigerians is presently being administratively controlled by just one ethnic group as we speak! When you ask them, they will tell you the capital of the country moved to Abuja since 1991 (i think that was the year) and so you should remove your 'covetous' eye from Lagos because it now belongs to them....and they're even doing you a 'favour' by allowing you to live there! 57 Likes 2 Shares |
